How it works:

Extraordinary things can happen when we ask extraordinary questions. This blog asks extraordinary questions in the form of outlandish statements. Sometimes I believe what I've posted. Sometimes I don't. This is not a blog about my political, religious, or philosophical views. It's a blog about thinking in different boxes or outside of the box altogether. Have fun. BRING FRIENDS!

Premise the 56th- Toilet Seats

Premise: I think, that where possible, we should deliver more than we promise

For example, if you promise your wife that you will always remember to put the toilet seat down after you pee, you should go the extra step and put the lid down as well...

...That way, she has to do some fucking work too.


Assignment: Argue for or against the merits of this premise, using logic, sound reasoning, and where possible, citations (links) to back up your arguments.)

Caveat: You need not take the side that you actually believe. Sometimes arguing the other side is more fun.

GO!

Premise the 55th- Butternut Squash

Premise: Naming a squash "butternut squash" is cruel, because its flavor can never live up to its namesake. Maybe if they'd called it ""Nut-shaped" squash, I could enjoy the flavor more (once I got past the sexual connotation), but as it is, I'm just disappointed, because butter and nuts (like peanuts, cashews, macadamia, almonds and such) taste AMAZING.... but this..... Well this just tastes like squash!

Premise the 54th- Lion Kibble

Premise: I get tired of religious people using their Bibles (specifically John 15:18-21) as vehicle for smugness when people speak out against them for their hypocrisy and moralistic vitriol.

Unless someone is making them wrestle hungry lions to the death, in the midst of a crowd of people pulling for the lions, they should really shut their faces about how they expect such "persecution" because the Bible says that when people find you to be an asshole in the name of your God, that you are somehow blessed. Sometimes, god or no god, an asshole is just an asshole.

Premise the 53rd- Angry Elves

Premise: Santa's slave labor force, the elves, are not always happy with their working conditions. In fact, between the demands, and the climate, and the silly work uniforms, not to mention that their slave driver sits around on his fat ass acting as nothing but a PR man for their "profitless" company, they are pretty frikken' fed up. In fact, there is talk of a north pole "#occupation" soon.

Premise the 52nd- Slow Kids

Premise: I'm all for taking extra special care of mentally challenged children. But I think we can do it without insulting them, such as in the road sign in this picture. 


Perhaps, instead, when driving we could just watch out for all kids...not just the slow ones. And don't tell me "they didn't mean it like that", because let's face it; the other way to take it (Nope... not accepting more than two possible meanings. Sorry) is a ludicrous statement, because in my experience, all kids are slower than cars. Don't believe me? Chase a few of them. You'll see.

Premise the 51st- Marilyn Monroe

Premise: Marilyn Monroe was okay looking, but truthfully the only thing special about her was that she decided to be glamorous in a time when women were still taught to be demure. Her rebellious nature, rather than her looks are what drove and still drives obsession with her.

Premise the 50th- Armpit Hair

Premise: Despite claims to the contrary, Asian chicks can't grow armpit hair, (and the thousands of Google pics that say otherwise are just falsified) but moustaches painted on fingernails are cute.

Premise the 49th- Stupid Phrase

Premise: The phrase, "I slept like a baby" is a stupid phrase, because people think it's a good thing. It's NOT a good thing to shit yourself in your sleep and/or to wake up six times in the night crying for want of a tit!

Premise the 48th- God

Premise: Sometimes, from what I see in this picture,  people are good, but apparently God's a real bastard! What kind of God loves you so much that he provides you with a new Infinity, but leaves 75% of the world to poverty and disease? Some societies must be REALLY special.

Premise the 47th- Puppy Blood

Premise: Puppy blood is tastier than kitten blood and without unwanted after taste. That's why 9 out of 10 Republicans that drink blood prefer puppy blood when choosing a frothy beverage. Plus, you can carbonate it.
